Herbert W. Rosio, 79, of Crandon, WI passed away Sunday, October 13, 2019 at his home. Herbert was born June 19, 1940 in Crandon the son of Louis and Mildred (Knoke) Rosio. He was united in marriage to Norma “Tina” Schoolman on May 6, 1962 in Crandon. Herb loved doing handyman projects for whoever needed something done! Anything Herb did was above and beyond! From his homemade ski hill complete with working tow rope to his 40 ft. backyard swing he built for his great grandkids (or anyone daring enough to ride!). Always quietly plotting in his head his next elaborate creation made for kids and kids at heart. Much like his heart, his dinner table always extended further for anyone who would accept his invitation. He was a gracious and master host. He loved to invite family, friends, and strangers alike over to his house for his famous mac and cheese, followed by late night board games and at least a couple games of Farkle to complete the evening. Fondly known as “Cowboy” he lined up racers at the Crandon Brush Run and made sure he made it to the 50th! His interests were many, including cutting firewood, making maple syrup, gardening, baking zucchini bread, watching westerns, reading Louis L’amour, photographing mushrooms, motorcycling, four wheeling, snowmobiling, target shooting, deer hunting, camping, volleyball, skiing, sailing, golfing and tennis. He loved all these things because it meant spending time with friends and family.
